House of the Week: Charming Home in Radnor SD

Its rare to get into a coveted school district for a "reasonable" price without having to do a ton of work. Yet, this home at 513 Chandler Ln in Villanova seems like just that!



Listed at $450,000 and currently low taxes for Radnor (~$7000) its a price many people can still afford. For that you get 3 full bedrooms, 2 full baths, one an ensuite from the master, and half bath! There's a nice sized living room with fireplace and dining room and an updated kitchen. The kitchen is small, a galley, but its a very liveable condition. Plus there is central air in place!



Whats really great here is it sits on an acre of land so not only is the yard space fantastic, but there is room to expand, which makes this house a great opportunity. An addition off of the kitchen/dining could allow for an expanded kitchen, family room and potentially a 1st floor bedroom for guests.



It has a charming stone front and a two car garage that could get connected to the home via a mudroom in the future.

The home needs some updating with the majority of work needed on the exterior but the bones are there, and incredibly charming. Minimal cosmetic work would make this a stunning home and cash in the future to expand could make this someone's incredible forever home!

Breaking Down the Commission Headlines and the NAR Settlement

The news right now around real estate is ripe with "The 6% Commission is Dead" or how buying and selling real estate is about to become a whole lot cheaper.  Sounds tantalizing, right? Because often news is sensationalism and this one is no different.  Did something actually change?  Yes, a little.  NAR (the National Association of Realtors - the trade organization that makes a real estate agent a 'Realtor' by a separate code of ethics and educational criteria) settled a case that brought about a few, minor changes.  1. It eliminated any requirement that listing brokers or sellers must make offers of compensation to buyers brokers.  2. It prohibits sellers and their agents from making offers of compensation on the MLS and disclosing any compensation and requires the elimination of all compensation fields on the MLS.  3. It requires MLS members working with buyers to enter into written agreements with those buyers.  So what changed?  Not much....

Stress-Free Winter Cocktails

Its holiday party season and that means contributing to gatherings, either as a guest or host!  One of my favorite ways to join pot lucks or show up to a party is with a big-batch cocktail. They are also great for intimate parties that you want to add a signature spin to the menu.  Here are some of my favorite options for winter cocktails:  Photo by Olena Sergienko on Unsplash Apple Juice Cocktail  If you are a previous client of mine, you should have gotten an apple juice with a cocktail recipe for Thanksgiving!  That recipe is GREAT for an easy, refreshing but cold weather cocktail  I also love this simple recipe because you could easily switch liquors. Rum and apple or tequila and apple (with a little agave, of course) would work well too!  Mulled Wine , aka Gluhwein  This is a simple, smells-great way to make your home feel like the holidays Swedish Glogg  Basically mulled wine, but with more nuts and more alcohol!  Photo by Frank Z...
